Bismuth metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as catalysts are scarce. Herein, the first MOF comprising meso- tetra(4-carboxyphenyl) porphine (TCPP) as an organic ligand and Bi ion as a metal node, denoted as Bi-TCPP, is synthesized by a convenient one-step hydrothermal method. Compared to other 2D (Cu-TCPP) or 3D (PCN-222) MOFs with TCPP as a ligand, Bi-TCPP has ultrafast singlet oxygen generation ability and a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 49.5% under the irradiation of 660 nm light. This is due to Bi-TCPP's strong ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) events that form singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ). Further, when the electrons and holes above the bandgap relax to the band edge, the excess energy is converted into heat. In vitro and in vivo experiments show excellent antibacterial and repair effects. Hence, the synthesis of Bi-TCPP provides new ideas for the study of rare bismuth-based MOFs, and its excellent biocompatibility provides a possibility for further application.

Low-temperature lead-free silver pastes deserve thorough investigation for sustainable development and application of MgTiO3ceramics in electronic devices. In this study, a series of Bi2O3-B2O3-ZnO-SiO2-Al2O3-CaO glasses with suitable softening temperatures were prepared via melt quenching using a type of micrometer silver powder formed by silver nanoparticle aggregates. The composite pastes containing silver powder, Bi2O3glass powder and an organic vehicle were then screen-printed. The effects of glass powder concentration and sintering temperature on the microstructure of the surface interface were also investigated. The results showed that the silver paste for microwave dielectric ceramic filters (MgTiO3) possessed good electrical conductivity (2.28 mΩ/□) and high adhesion (43.46 N/mm2) after medium temperature (670 °C) sintering. Thus, this glass powder has great application potential in non-toxic lead-free silver pastes for metallization of MgTiO3substrates.Keywords:silver paste;MgTiO3;bonding strength;low-temperature sintering

The enhanced photocatalytic properties of Z-Scheme Bi@BiOCl/C3N4-DPY heterojunction materials were successfully prepared by the ultrasonic-assisted coprecipitation method. The Bi@BiOCl/C3N4-DPY heterojunction exhibited remarkable photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation, and the degradation rate of methyl orange (MO) was about 90.6% in 180 min. This impressive efficiency is mainly due to the Z-Scheme charge transfer mechanism in Bi@BiOCl/C3N4-DPY, resulting in the efficient separation of charge carriers and an increase in the REDOX potential of photogenerated electrons and holes. C3N4 was modified with a π-deficient conjugated pyridine ring, which caused the light absorption redshift, promoted the formation of oxidizing •O2–, and improved the photocatalytic activity. At the same time, a well-aligned heterojunction is formed at the interface between C3N4-DPY and BiOCl, facilitating the seamless transfer of light-induced electrons from the LUMO of C3N4-DPY to the CB of BiOCl. In addition, the addition of Bi introduces a unique band gap reduction effect, resulting in a change in the density of the band states, which further promotes charge transfer and separation. It is worth noting that the introduction of metallic bismuth (Bi) brings about a unique band gap reduction effect, resulting in a change in the density of states within the band, which ultimately promotes charge transfer and separation. The Z-scheme charge migration inside Bi@BiOCl/C3N4-DPY further promotes the efficient separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, greatly improving the overall efficiency of the material. The Z-structured photocatalyst developed in this study has great application potential in various fields of photocatalysis.

The development of heterojunction composite materials with excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance is emerging as an effective means to address the hazardous electromagnetic waves . Here, two types of Cu 9 S 5 @VO 2 microspheres with different morphologies were designed. The Cu 9 S 5 @VO 2 microspheres were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy , X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and vector network analyzer. Results show that the minimum reflection loss ( RL min ) of unique lamellar-flower Cu 9 S 5 @VO 2 sphere reaches −56.98 dB, and the wide effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) is 6.88 GHz at only 2.5 mm thickness due to the synergistic effect of multiple loss mechanisms. Radar simulated radar cross section (RCS) results show a reduction of 16.56 dBm 2 . The design engineering of the phase interface on the material surface can functionalize the material surface properties, introduce lattice defects and polarization behavior, and improve the microwave absorption performance of the material. This work enriches the use of copper sulfide-based functional composites in microwave absorption with high-performance microwave absorbers by designing microscopically controllable, simple processes and heterojunction design.

Graphical Supramolecular self-assembly in bi-solvent systems has been demonstrated as an unprecedented strategy to realize circularly polarized luminescence of achiral carbon dots. Dissymmetry factors of 10 −3 are obtained in solution, without the need of any additional element of chirality. An innovative strategy for circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) of carbon dots (CDs) has been developed: The achiral CDs displayed contrary supramolecular chirality and opposite CPL in two different bi-solvent systems, which are due to the formation of self-assembled helical nanostructures with two diverse assembly modes (P and M) in aggregate state via intermolecular π-π interactions and differential hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) without the need of any additional element of chirality.

The main obstacles to the photocatalytic reduction of nitrogen are the low separation efficiency of photogenerated charges and the few activation sites for nitrogen. It is highly desirable to explore new strategies for improving the nitrogen fixation performance of catalysts. Herein, the Bi metal active sites are constructed on the surface of BiOBr/BiOI heterojunction by in situ reaction, which promote the absorption, activation, and dissociation of nitrogen molecules. Moreover, the existence of Bi metal and BiOBr/BiOI heterojunction enhances the light absorption ability and facilitates the separation and transfer of photogenerated charges. The theoretical calculation also demonstrates that the BiOBr/BiOI/Bi composite has excellent electron structure and electron transfer efficiency. So, the ternary BiOBr/BiOI/Bi catalyst shows excellent performance of photocatalytic reduction of nitrogen to ammonia. The nitrogen reduction rate is 221.9 μmol g −1 h −1 , which is 7.6 and 5 times higher than that of pure BiOBr and BiOBr/BiOI. The mechanism of photocatalytic nitrogen fixation of the BiOBr/BiOI/Bi is proposed based on the experimental and theoretical results. This study provides a novel method for improving the photocatalytic nitrogen reduction performance of catalysts.

In this study, Sn–Bi–MOF/Ti 3 C 2 heterojunction catalysts were prepared using the solvothermal method, and their photocatalytic ability to degrade and mineralize tetracycline (TC) under illumination was investigated. After 90 min of photocatalysis, the pollutant had a degradation efficiency of 96.2% and a mineralization rate of 45.5%. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were analyzed using various methods. The effects of the solution pH, coexisting anions, and water quality on the catalyst performance were investigated. ·O 2 − and h + are the main active substances in the photocatalytic mechanism, as demonstrated by free-radical quenching experiments and EPR tests. The degradation of TC and the intermediates produced were determined using 3D fluorescence and LC-MS. The photocatalytic mechanism of Sn–Bi–MOF/Ti 3 C 2 was proposed based on free radical determination and electrochemical tests. The formation of the Schottky junction accelerated the transfer of electrons to Ti 3 C 2 and improved the separation of charges, which led to the generation of free radicals. Sn–Bi–MOF/Ti 3 C 2 still exhibited good catalytic ability after four cycles of the experiments, and the XRD patterns before and after the reaction were consistent, which illustrates that the composite structure was stable. Overall, Sn–Bi–MOF/Ti 3 C 2 has promising applications in the photocatalytic removal of refractory pollutants.

Pursuing painless and flexible blood glucose regulation has been a century-long arduous mission. The current therapeutic systems can only regulate blood glucose unidirectionally (reduce), and the adjustment range is large, which is prone to the risk of hypoglycemia. Herein, inspired by the temperature fluctuation range controlled by the inverter air conditioner, we report a new bi-directional blood glucose-regulating drug delivery system (BDRS) consisting of glucose-loaded pressure-responsive nano-vesicles (Glu@PRNV), insulin-loaded black phosphorus nanosheets (Insulin@BPNs), hydrogel, and a painless blood sugar monitor patch. At first, BDRS could monitor blood glucose in real-time through visible color changes. Afterward, according to different requirements, BDRS could release glucose with the guidance of external pressure, or supplement insulin under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, through which, the blood glucose level of diabetics could be accurately accommodated within a reasonable fluctuation range, thus minifying the likelihood of sudden hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. Collectively, the supply–demand balance of blood glucose could be maintained via this real-time bi-directional drug delivery system, thereby improving the quality of life of diabetics. We have also verified the universality of this technique through a similar bi-directional sleep regulation.

Considering the flexibility, adjustable pore structure, and abundant active sites of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), rational design and fine control of the MOF-based hetero-nanocrystals is a highly important and challenging subject. In this work, self-assembly of a 3D hollow BiOBr@Bi-MOF microsphere was fabricated through precisely controlled dissociation kinetics of the self-sacrificial template (BiOBr) for the first time, where the residual quantity of BiOBr and the formation of Bi-MOF were carefully regulated by changing the reaction time and the capability of coordination. Meanwhile, the hollow microstructure was formed in BiOBr@Bi-MOF through the Oswald ripening mechanism to separate photogenerated electron–hole pairs and increase the adsorption capacity of Bi-MOF for dyes, which significantly enhanced the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of RhB from 56.4% for BiOBr to 99.4% for the optimal BiOBr@Bi-MOF microsphere. This research broadens the selectivity of semiconductor/MOF hetero-nanocrystals with reasonable design and flexible synthesis.

As a kind of plasticizer , butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) presents a serious hazard to the ecosystem. Therefore, there is a strong need for an effective technique to eliminate the risk of BBP. In this work, a new photocatalyst of Bi/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /Bi 2 S 3 with an S-scheme heterojunction was synthesized using Bi(NO 3 ) 3 as the Bi source, Na 2 S as the S source, and DMF as the carbon source and reductant. Numerous techniques have been used to characterize Bi/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /Bi 2 S 3, such as scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy , X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The improved photoactivity of Bi/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /Bi 2 S 3 was evaluated by photoelectrochemical response, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, photoluminescence , UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and electrochemical Mott Schottky spectroscopy. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of this composite for BBP degradation under simulated sunlight irradiation could be attributed to the surface plasmon resonance effect of Bi metal and the heterojunction structure of Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 and Bi 2 S 3 . The degradation rate of Bi/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /Bi 2 S 3 was 85%, which was 4.52 and 1.52 times that of Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 and Bi 2 S 3 , respectively. The prepared photocatalyst possessed good stability and reproducibility in eliminating BBP. The improved photocatalytic activity of Bi/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /Bi 2 S 3 was demonstrated with the formation of an S-scheme heterojunction, and the degradation mechanism was discussed with a liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer .

Rapid advances in robotics have placed urgent demands on more intelligent human-machine interaction technologies. Specifically, the way of establishing dual-way intuitive communication with a consistent sensory system can greatly enhance efficiency and reliability. Here, a bi-directional human-machine interface (HMI) is designed by applying starch-based hydrogel sensors. The whole system consists of a multi-modal wearable sensory exoskeleton with a haptic feedback module and sensory robotic hand. The sensory exoskeleton with strain-sensing glove and rotation-sensing arm can capture and project the motion of the entire upper limb. The system offers object recognition functions by utilizing a sensing array on the robotic hands and machine learning algorithms, which can identify the shape and hardness information. The recognized results can be delivered back to the operator via vision and vibrational haptic feedback, respectively. This dual-way intelligent sensory system shows potential application in many key fields such as the Internet of Things, teleoperation, and medical robotics.

Bi-induced structural distortion was strategically engineered in BaTiO3 nanowires (BT NWs) to reinforce spontaneous polarization and achieve superior piezo-photocatalytic performance for efficient dye degradation. Bi-doped BT NWs (BT_xBi NWs) were synthesized via a facile two-step hydrothermal method. Comprehensive characterizations revealed that Bi3+ substitution at the A-site induces significant lattice contraction, surface cracks, polycrystalline characteristics, and an increased tetragonal phase fraction. These structural distortions, together with an enhanced carrier concentration and optimized electronic structure, markedly improve ferroelectric polarization, charge separation efficiency, and piezoelectric response under mechanical stress. Under ultrasonic-light synergistic conditions, the optimal BT_0.04Bi NWs exhibited an exceptional Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation rate constant of 487.3 × 10-3 min-1, which surpassed most reported piezo-photocatalysts. Reactive species trapping, electrochemical measurements, KPFM, DFT calculations, and COMSOL simulations collectively confirm that Bi doping breaks local symmetry, introduces additional polarization components, redistributes charge density, and amplifies local piezoelectric potential at crack sites. This work provides a novel and effective doping strategy for simultaneously modulating polarization and electronic properties in ferroelectric perovskites, offering new insights into the design of high-performance piezo-photocatalysts for environmental remediation.
